How about Matthew Caldwell keeping last year from being a disaster with the TD against MS State.

2006 Texas at Nebraska. 
 

Horns down 20-19, Nebraska with the ball running out the clock with 2 minutes left. We’ve already started using timeouts so another first down will ice the game. 
 

3rd and 3, Nebraska pass complete for 7 yards. If the receiver goes down it’s game over but Aaron Ross dislodges the ball as soon as possession is established. Horns recover, get a couple first downs, and kick the game winning field goal.

I was in the student section when Eddie Phillips hit Cotton Speyer to lead the comeback against UCLA at Memorial stadium in 1970.  One of the best situations of grabbing a win from a dire situation.  

I was there in the student section also.  Texas was defending National Champ and ranked No. 1 to start the year.  We were behind and it was late in the game.  The student section was on its feet and collectively started stomping on the aluminum bleacher seats, demanding a win -- and Speyrer came through with yet another heroic 45 yard pass play.  The crowd went crazy.

This might be recency bias, but Quinn’s 4th and 13 throw has to be up there.

Definitely deserves some recognition 

2018 RRR Cameron Dicker with a 40 Yard FG for the win with 19 seconds left.

Chance Wheeless’ walk off home run against Baylor in the 2005 Men’s College World Series Semifinals to send Texas to the National Championship series against Florida comes to mind for me.

He basically did it with one arm. Augie wanted to pinch-hit for him, but Wheeless convinced him that he saw Ryan LaMotta well, so Augie stuck with him.

Phil Dawson’s 50 yard game winner against UVA in 95 into a 20+MPH wind. 

This one doesn't get enough love.

 

How different is the offseason vibe going into the 2005 season if Dusty Mangum misses the walk-off field goal against Michigan in the Rose Bowl?

This is what I I was going to post ☝️

The first Texas Baseball game at the Disch I ever attended resulted in a Cameron Rupp walkoff three run home run against Nebraska in 2010. 

One of my favorite Texas moments ever as inconsequential it may have been.

Alan Lowry 1973 Cotton Bowl 2 TD's; Brewer/Orr/Graham 1982 Cotton Bowl [Brewer & Orr TD's; Graham's timely INT at the 1 yard line] - both great victories & comebacks against Bear Bryant-coached Alabama.

Remember in the bama game in 2023 on a 4th down Quinn fumbled the snap and Jbrooks picked it up and ran for a 1st down. Pivotal moment in the game.

There have been so many.

That was a pea. Hit the Rudy’s sign on a line.
